Hey, you guys. I am a bit stranded here in Utah. My husband decided to go on an "overnight" trip with his brother (he drives semi-trucks), ya...4 days later and he's still gone. And I'm still here and I can't drive home without him.So....I am so sorry for those of you waiting to hear about the new DT. I haven't made a decision or contacted anyone yet but I do have my list of favorites at home.Man, I am having major scrapping withdrawals!!! Seriously.Have a happy Thursday and I hope to be back on soon.

Hello scrappy friends! I just got back from a weekend of camping with my family. I am a city girl all the way who married a country boy. The poor guy never gets to go anymore so I have to give in once in a while. A marriage is about compromise, right? We did have lots fun even though is was really, really dirty. At least I took a few great pics for scrapping. :)Here is this week's sketch:

Happy Thursday everybody! The weekend is almost here!I created this LO and incorporated it to fit in with a few challenges.First of all, I themed my LO around the song 'So Happy Together' by the Turtles for this week's challenge at Scrap It With A Song. This is one of my favorite new challenge blogs.I used a sketch from Liz Qualman for this month's sketch challenge at Sweet Peach Crop Shop.

I love the way it turned out and I do love when my girls are getting along. :)I hope you try the challenges!
